As the Flyers rebuild, they are also working to repair the culture they were founded on. Saturday’s Ed Snider Legacy Game is another example.

Flyers assistant GM Brent Flahr spoke to the media on Monday on several prospects and their development as rookie camp nears its end.

On a new YWT Podcast, the guys discuss the Ivan Provorov trade, other trade rumors, front office changes, and recap the Stanley Cup Final.

The Flyers front office now consists of two former players at the top – Keith Jones and Danny Briere – with Patrick Sharp and John LeClair in advisory roles. The names may be different, but the pedigree is the same.

The Flyers announced on Thursday that they have hired John LeClair as a Special Advisor to Hockey Operations.

The Flyers announced on Tuesday the hiring of former Flyer Patrick Sharp as Special Advisor of Hockey Operations.

The bad blood between the Flyers and Ottawa Senators was still fresh from a game just eight days earlier, so when the teams met on March 5, 2004, it would become a historic night in a very different way.

This series was a seven-game showdown that truly went back and forth. When the Flyers had their backs against the wall in Game 6, a late goal flipped the series back around and helped it reach the distance. In the end, just two goals separated the teams in the seven-game series and it was a one-goal margin in Game 7 that decided the series.

But how close were the Flyers to actually winning the series and their first Stanley Cup since 1975 back in 2010? That’s what we’ll look at in this Series in Review.
